He fish-sits for the gigolo and ends up indebted to Antoine, who has a nasty temper. So while Antoine is out of town, Deuce starts answering the phone and taking up Antoine's clientele.

Deuce is recruited by a pimp (Eddie Griffin). Now, what kind of women hire men? Weird ones. Damaged ones. Deuce is a big success. "You must have a way with women that would sicken an ordinary man," says his pimp.

Because Deuce is basically a nice guy, all his clients come to his rescue when he's put on trial for prostitution.

Schneider, who used to be seen on Saturday Night Live, and Harris Goldberg co-wrote the screenplay, which was directed by Mike Mitchell. Schneider likes to do big, physical humor, at which he shows no special facility.
